I’ve never seen the movie “Network“, but I’ve seen the pivotal scene from the film more than a few times and I was drawn to finding it today on YouTube. If you’ve never seen it, here it is: But what was it that brought me to this? This is seemingly the 3rd post that jumps [...]

It’s probably not surprising that I enjoy a very well-done inspiration speech. Certain people who truly have the gift - whether by virtue of being blessed by the gods of Olympus from birth or through, careful, meticulous practice over time – really capture my attention. The ability to move inspire people to do more and be [...]
Grinding Towards Beauty

So yesterday I decided to avail myself of being so close to a few of the most amazing national parks in the United States, if not the world. The park of choice? Zion National Park in Springdale, Utah. This was really a two-part kind of initiative… because, you know… I’m all about efficiency! YEAH! OK, [...]
If you were to research the heaviest deadlift ever performed in a powerlifting competition, you would come across a lift of 1,015 lbs by Benedikt Magnusson from Iceland on April 2, 2011. In fact, our good friends at YouTube even have a video of the momentous occasion by this mountain of a man: Sweet. Mother. [...]

My trusty new kicks. May they make me fly like the mythical shoes of Hermes. As I’ve written about before, I made the totally awesome (or epically stupid) decision to do a Tough Mudder in Vermont in May.

But beyond all that, it’s a lovely day in… October. I need to re-check my [...]
So I am doing my utmost right now to actually be smart. I know, I know… why start something so radically different for myself now? Isn’t it a little late to show up to that party? Probably, but I’m also a crazy dreamer. My decision to engage the rational and logical parts of my brain [...]

An interesting thing often occurs when I sit down to write up almost any blog post I do… a gnawing sort of feeling that, even though I may like what I’m writing, I haven’t the slightest clue whether it will resonate with a single soul out there on Teh Interwebz. Needless to say, that can [...]
This distinguished-looking fellow on the left is one John Calvin and let me tell you something… I’m never going to invite him to a party at my house for 2 very important reasons. First, he’s dead. That truly puts a damper on any real chance of an invite to Chez Kuzia outside of some kind [...]
